The Ultimate Challenge?

Refugees from Fairmile and Newbury have been spotted putting up treehouses in Boorara forest near Northcliffe SW Australia in the magnificent old growth karri trees. Bunnings/Sodico LTD of Perth, Australia are clearfelling 46 hectares a day of virgin karri/jarrah and marri trees. Most of these are converted to woodchips and exported to Japan to be turned into cardboard boxes to house consumer goods. Some of the timber is also exported to the UK (especially railway sleepers for Railtrack). Please boycott any timber coming from Western Australia.

Help is needed over here. Homes and modest financial support are available for experienced tree protesters (esp riggers) and tunnel experts. These are the second tallest trees on the planet and the latest platforms are 45 metres (130 feet) high up. This is the ultimate challenge for adrenaline starved tree people who fancy doing some hardcore protesting in pristine wilderness areas.
